Travel Insurance FAQ

What is the difference between trip cancellation and trip interruption?

Last Updated: September 21, 2007April 4, 2014

The “trip cancellation” benefit covers you in the event you have to cancel your trip due to a covered reason listed in your travel insurance policy prior to your departure date. Trip interruption benefit covers you in the event you have to interrupt your trip for the same covered reasons after your departure date, but before your scheduled return date.
